Hi . I’ve' acquired three LC1's and an having difficulty finding out how to wire them into my lamps , noting in the user guide ( says refer to a B&o service agent  )  Think I've attached a picture and sketch ( difficult to photo so have sketched )

 

Says B&o 800144 printed on the circuit board

 

Terminal P2  =   arrow pointing at it will a ‘  L  ‘

Terminal P3  =   arrow with a letter ‘  E  ‘  ( think its’ an E )

Terminal P4  =   no arrow , no letter

Terminal P5  =   arrow pointing at it with a letter  ‘   N  ‘

Hi,

I had a diagram somewhere but can't find it at the moment. In the meantime THIS might help.

Hi Stonk . Thanks for the link , I can see why my dealer was reluctant to say without seeing them ,    doesn’t follow logic as I have an ‘ L ‘ pointing at P2 , an ‘ E ‘ pointing at P3 , an ‘  N  ‘ pointing at P5 , and nothing next to P4 , unless it the translation from Danish . Richard

Hi Richard,

I haven't seen one for years but you are correct, it doesn't follow UK logic. E can't refer to EARTH as the unit is only fed by a live and neutral.

In my country that doesn't matter since you can put in the plug both ways into the outlet socket

Hi . I realised that after I posted ( I must be a bit dim today ) but thinking I have Es bulb holders so did'nt want the outer part live , preffer the centre contact to be the live  . Richard .

Thanks for the help , all three working , though I had a problem at first as they seam to need 10 or 20 seconds to boot up before they will work , also got some LC2's but prefer these for table lamps as they stand better . Thanks again , Richard
